Methods and devices for network web resource performance

Abstract

A method includes performing, by a processor, receiving a user selection of a content item on a web page in a web browser executing on a device, obtaining resource timing information corresponding to network timing information associated with a web resource associated with the content item, determining a callback execution time associated with the web resource, aggregating performance information comprising the resource timing information and the callback execution time associated with the web resource, and communicating, to a network operator, the performance information comprising the resource timing information and the callback execution time associated with the web resource.
